Happy Halloween

On Halloween, I usually stand down at the street and hand out orange reusable bags; it's a great way for cars to see the kids and I think it's better than giving out candy. This year I have slacked, not even doing pumpkins.

We are stocked for Halloween though. Meet Joe Bones~Joe used to ride home with my Dad from the office every Halloween, and Dad laughed when people did a double-take with a skeleton riding shotgun in a convertible. Every year I want to do a shoot with Joe; Joe in the kitchen wearing a toque; Joe entertains at the piano. Joe goes to the beach....With the hot weather today, and Joe's weight & bulk, all I could do was take him outside and pose him soaking up a few rays; the Vitamin D will be good for him. I asked Laura if she will help me do something fun next year with Joe; she's a clever one and we can think of some fun shots; hope this give you a laugh; nice profile, Joe~Tomorrow night I will go to my friend & neighbor Yvette's house; her invite for a casual get-together arrived looking like this~inside was a rolled invitation, tied with a bow, black of course~the invitation was sooo Yvette; she is supremely talented~

her home is a French-style Farmhouse; it is all dressed up for the night~each year Yvette and her husband Steve place a pair of big Mac pumpkins on their pillars; Steve will carve them~the overall look is fantastic; I love love love it!!!up on top of the chimney is the wicked witch; no foolin'....you would swear it is....she is lit up at night; very spooky~this year inside the gates they did a cemetery, and the usually pristine yard is covered this month with leaves and branches~Spooky & safe All Hallows Eve to everyone!

I love Joe Bones...What a cute fella he is! All he needs now is a pair of sunglasses and a newspaper. Yvettes's Halloween decorations are fabulous. I love the invitation and the witch on the chimney is great. Happy Halloween.xoxo, Sherry

About Me

I import classic French baskets & totes from former colonies Madagascar and Morocco. Though I live in Southern California, I spend part of my year in Burgundy and visit the south. I lived in Paris for several years while I completed the three year course in art history at the Ecole du Louvre. I am passionate about my baskets and their construction, color, art, design and bringing a little bit of the French lifestyle to the United States.
